The Forgotten

The forgotten
Feeling cheated yet again, they stormed the Capital
One of them, Ashli Babbitt, was killed by the police
No empathy
No compassion
No outrage
Not this time, not like this past summer.
This time it was an enemy of the elite who was killed
She will get no multiple memorials, no fancy funeral
No ‘A’ listers weeping over her loss.
She is the daughter of the deplorable, the common
the forgotten
